The goal of these analyses is to predict disease develop ment and other parameters in (production) animals\, especially dairy cows and humans.\n\nA further research interest is the application of Nuclear M agnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of biofluids for identifying disease biomarkers.\n\nAbout the 4 o'Clock Forum Seminar Series\n\n9I's Facult y of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences has tremendous expertise and opportunities for innovations in research on agriculture\, the environment \, health\, food\, nutrition\, pests and parasites\, including from a biot echnology perspective. However\, there are limited opportunities for facul ty\, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to share their common inte rests in these areas.\n\nIn order to bring together the Macdonald Science Community\, we have initiated a monthly seminar series—'4 O'clock Forum'—w here faculty members and postdoctoral fellows are invited to present their work. Through these seminars on the Macdonald campus\, researchers and gr aduate students will have regular opportunities to be exposed to scientifi c advancements related to their own fields of research as well as other sc ientific areas. Graduate and undergraduate students can benefit from these academic opportunities\, all of which are aimed at stimulating critical d iscussions about contemporary research and issues in the agriculture and e nvironment\, to foster increased interactions among the Macdonald faculty\ , and to highlight our ability to deliver outstanding scientific contribut ions.\n\nPlease contact jaswinder.singh [at] mcgill.ca with any questions. \n DTSTART:20240314T200000Z DTEND:20240314T210000Z LOCATION:R3-048\, Raymond Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V 9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:4 o'Clock Forum: Deep Learning and Metabolomics for Animal Disease Research and Beyond URL:/macdonald/channels/event/4-oclock-forum-deep-lear ning-and-metabolomics-animal-disease-research-and-beyond-355945 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
